The FLIR K1 is a rugged, compact thermal camera that serves as an extra set of eyes on the fire scene, allowing commanders, officers, and inspectors to quickly complete a thorough 360° assessment in total darkness and through smoke. With a bright, integrated flashlight, the FLIR K1 illuminates the scene to help the user steer and manage the crew more effectively. It also displays 160 × 120 pixel thermal images that help users gain additional situation awareness that is not possible with the naked eye.
Keep Your Eyes on the Fire Scene
Quickly assess the scene in total darkness, through smoke, and never lose line of sight.
Gather compelling evidence and save up to 10,000 sets of radiometric thermal and visual images for simple reporting.
The water-resistant K1 withstands a 2-meter drop onto concrete, and is lightweight enough to attach to gear.
